Entrance

At the entrance to the Sea, you can go in either via the gift store or via a ride. The ride takes you on a small adventure with the cast of Finding Nemo under the sea, where you get to look at different thing from our oceans.

The Ride

The ride into the pavillion is in clamshell cars, each holding two people. The first room you enter when walking in has a bunch of sand dunes and stuff that gives you the impression that you are about to enter the ocean. The next room is under the ocean, perhaps ten or fifteen feet under water. There are boats in the overhead, and glass plates make the lighting in the room appear as if you are underwater.

The ride itself is your typical moving walkway approach, where you step on the moving walkway, get into the cars, sit down, and they then close up with a safety bar at the end of the walkway to take you on the full ride.

The ride itself takes you on a brief synopsis of the movie Finding Nemo. A good number of the characters from the movie are present. The most impressive thing occurs towards the end, where they project the main characters such as Nemo and Dory into actual tanks of sea life, where real fish and other aquatic animals (such as dolphins) are swimming. The ride then exits and you get out, to go into the Seas pavilion proper.

Pavillion Attractions

Inside the pavillion are learning centers where you can learn about different aquatic creatures. There are also very large underwater viewing areas where you can watch dolphins and other large fish swimming around. There is also a second tank where they keep a couple of manatees that you can watch.

There are also live feedings of the fish at scheduled times. Just look around for signs stating when these feedings are.

The star attraction for this pavillion, of course, is a live show called Turtle Talk with Crush.
